"Josh was an ex-student who found his niche with bodywork repair, in which he managed to gain an apprenticeship with Central Garage in Grantham, an approved Honda accident repair centre.

"Josh was also a very cheerful and pleasant young man. Both shall be sadly missed by the automotive staff and all the students at Grantham College.

"Our condolences and thoughts go out to both their families and friends at this tragic time."
